- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- With an estimated 16-18 million Americans suffering with migraine, it is
- little wonder that so many questions about "sick headache" are referred to me.
- This disease is often familial, occurs in women about 3 times more often than
- men, and can affect children as well as adults. A great deal of information
- about migraine, its causes, prevention and treatment is available from the
- National Headache Foundation, and it is very easy for you to obtain. Two
- excellent publications are included in their offer to you this week. One is a
- brochure called "Plain Facts About Migraine: Symptoms and Treatments". It
- explains the nature of migraine, describes the two categories, ("with" and
- "without aura"), and lists some of the factors that can precipitate an attack.
- The second offering is a reference card, called "Headache: Q & A" that
- provides 13 commonly asked questions and their answers about headache in
- general. Both are yours by sending a stamped self addressed business size
- envelope with 2 first class stamps to The National Headache Foundation,
- Department FD, 5252 N. Western Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625.
